Two very stylish-looking Washington
young ladies nave been making a decided
sensation on the avenue by their dexterous
riding OF the tricycle.. Both are remarka-
bly, pretty and wear handsome street cos
tunes. One of them wears a gentleman's
high silk hat. the only difference being that
it is turned up on one side and has a little
black feather in il. Her cloth dress fits her
trim figure ~exquisitely, and she wears long
bootsli like a backwoodsman. The top of the
boot hides her pretty ankle, but the con-
v~enience obviates many OF the objections
raised to ladies riding tricycles. Her com
panion wears a Tam O'Shanter cap, which
falls prettily about her head. They each
own a single tricyle, and use these in the
morning, but in the evening when the
avenue is crowded they rlde a double
tricyle, and causes many OF the congress-
mans heart to go pit-a-pat in unison with
the girls dantily booted feet on the pedals.

A shrewd Buyer of Coin.

A quiet, sedate young woman, who wears
glasses, always carries a couple OF books
and looks as if she was an admirer of
Browning, is one of the characters who
haunt the New York hotels. She is a
shrewd young Jewess, in spite OF her Bos-
tonian appearance, and makes Il good liv-
ing by buying the foreign coins,
which is picked up at the hotels from
travellers who exchange glittering foreign
gold for the cartwheel American dollars.
The hotels get the coin at a discount. she
buys it at a slight advance and disposes
of it in Wall street. Her friends say there
isn't a coin struck but she can tell its value
at a glance. She pitks mp valuable pieces
once in a while that go to numismatists at
a handsome observation-disclosures City

ORIGIN oryera;,. NEnsterpieee,

Verdi was first induced to undertake
the composition Of 'Othello' on the occa-
sion of the performance of his Massa da
requiem at the Scala for the benefit Of the
sufferers by the inundation a Terrard. The
next day he gave a dinner to the four prin-
cipal solo singers. at which were present
several friends, among them Signor Faccio
and Signor Ricordi. The latter aid siege
to the maestro, trying to persuade him to
undertake a new work. For a long time
Verdi resisted, and his wife declared that
probably only a Shakesperean subject
could induce him to take up his pen again.
A few hours later Faccio Ricordi vent to
Boito, who at once agreed to make the
third in the generous conspiracy, and two
days later sent a complete sketch OF the
plan for the opera, following strictly the
Shakesperean tragedy. Verdi approved OF
the sketch, and from that moment it fell to
to the part of Giulia Ricordi to urge on the
and the poet by constant re-
minders. Every Christmas he sent to Yer
dis house an Othello formed OF chocolate,
which. at first very small, grew large as the
opera progressed.-Corriere del Malino.

Weather Errors.

Few erroneous notions are spread so
readily and cling so tenac ousl, as
those respecting the weather. In
noticing onmon errors of this kind,
Prof. Cleveland Able, the distinguished
meteOroiOG st, urges attention to these
facts: That while the moon might
well be expected to influence our
weather, scientific evidence shows that
it does not; that there is 30 sound rea-
sol for believ ng that sun-spots have
any appreciable effect in producing
storms, or other local changes; that
animal instinct ranks greatly below
human intelligence as q guide to future
weather; that the indications furnished
by plants L due to the microscopic
condition of the air, as are also other
signs" and are less del. cate and reli-
able Than the accurate instrumental
tests of meteorolog SITS; that electricity
and ozone do not produce the effects
often ascribed to them; that thunder
storms do not cool the air. but the cool
inru~il results. | Ike the storm, from the
r Sc Of hot a r-at least in many cases;
that It has not vet been proven that

Toned times. scientific records disprov-
ing the faulty recollections of the old

are no more liable to occur at the date
of the equinoxes. or on certain days of
the week or month, than at other
times.
